Law and Righteousness (a right standing) with the Father and the persistent, insidious, demonically rooted, foolishness of legalism…

Faith establishes the impotency of the law to save and redeem (Romans 3:31) as the law only defines one’s sin void atonement (Romans 3:20); in fact, the law curses and condemns anyone seeking righteousness through it (Galatians 3:10) as the law demands absolute perfection (James 2:10) and we’re all sinners already condemned by the law (Romans 5:12; Romans 3:23); therefore, anyone who seeks the law to please the Father concerning righteousness is a legalistic fool as they serve the devil, not the Holy Spirit through faith in Messiah Jesus (Galatians 3).

Anyone who desires eternal life, a pardon from the second death in Hell, will NOT attain same through vain attempts to keep a law or a day or a diet or a tradition. If YOU desire eternal life you must first comply with the Father’s will (John 6:29); you must first repent-turn away from your rebelliousness toward the Father’s will for your life and believe-trust in Jesus as your Messiah who died for you (Luke 13:3; John 3). It is ONLY by faith in Jesus that you will enter into New Covenant relationship with the Father through the imputation – gifting of Jesus’ righteousness over your life by faith (John 14:6; 2 Corinthians 5:21). It is only through the New Covenant Gospel that the words of eternal life are clearly and unambiguously articulated and firmly established; this, by grace through faith in Jesus, NOT LAW (John 3; Galatians 2:16).

A righteousness that pleases the Father,

Once you have established New Covenant relationship with the Father through faith in Jesus as your Messiah and received the Holy Spirit as Guarantor of that covenant relationship (Ephesians 1:13-14), it is the indwelling Holy Spirit who methodically walks you in daily sanctification and guides your redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) via the law written upon your heart (Romans 2:14-15) to please the Father through the production of fruits of righteousness that actually honor and glorify the Father as opposed to works of self-righteousness through enslavement to letters etched in stone or scratched upon parchment; letters that can never save the soul from death in Hell (Galatians 5; Galatians 2:16; Romans 7:6; Isaiah 64:6).
